Publisher Description
Professor Whit Filmore thought he'd left his life as a detective behind to focus on teaching, but after a personal realization changed his life, he discovered his heightened senses help him pick up on clues that others can't.
Together with his assistant Anna, an empath who is barely scratching the surface of her own talents, Whit travels to Aldridge, a small town in Texas, at the request of an old acquaintance in the FBI. Two girls have gone missing from opposite sides of town, and no one is cooperating. With so many obstacles, can Whit use his keen senses to find the girls in time?
Customer Reviews
Dead on time
Good quick read. Was kept interested through to end. Had no idea who was guilty.
Great escape into thriller world
Couldn’t put it down. Vivid story. Love the characters.
My mistake
American authors. W L Knightly is the pen name used by two suburban Mom writers who started out writing YA and kept going.
Detective turned college professor (of criminology) and his female teaching assistant/grad student/side-kick are dispatched to east Texas by an old acquaintance from the FBI to find Young Sheldon. No, to find the daughter of a local rich dude who has gone missing. Except there’s a second chick missing too: daughter of poor black dude. Turns out the prof and his offsider are both “empaths,” which I now know is a term used in science fiction for a person with a paranormal ability to perceive the mental or emotional state of another individual. Yada, yada, investigation proceeds. Empaths do their thang. The end.
I thought the writing was lame, the editing heinous, but what would I know? The average rating on Goodreads is 4.15.
